Arthur Oldham conducts the choir

On Friday 20th November at 7:30pm the Schola Cantorum will perform a special concert featuring the music of Arthur Oldham, the Cathedral’s renowned choirmaster from 1956-71.

Marking the centenary of his birth, the concert is the culmination of a special project to bring to life Oldham’s music. The Schola Cantorum will sing music by Oldham last heard in a musical golden age at St Mary’s that is still remembered today.

The choir will also perform pieces from its own, present era, bringing the two ages of music-making together in a celebration of Oldham’s musical legacy, and the Cathedral’s continuing musical flourishing.

The concert will help raise money for a new CD recording of the Schola Cantorum. Tickets are £12 (£10 under 18 concession). Eventbrite: https://bit.ly/GoldenAge-20Nov26
